otfjs

This project is my way of learning more about how fonts work under the hood. My goal is to eventually use the knowledge gained to write a Figma plugin for creating fonts using SVG paths.

Development

This project is built with pnpm. First, make sure dependencies are installed. Run the following from the root of the repo:

pnpm install

Then spin up the dev server:

pnpm dev

This runs tsc --watch in the otfjs package and vite dev in the otfjs-ui package, so any changes you make to either package will be picked up automatically.

Reference

• open type font spec

  This spec from Microft is very well written and easy to undersatnd. It's made working on this project a delight.
